Abstract
The volume contains Czech translation of Augustine's sermones dedicated to the Our Father (s. 56-59A). In the first section, an introductory study on Augustine and the Lord's prayer is presented.
Firstly, an overview of the patristic approach to this prayer is offered. Second, the text of five Augustine's sermons is inserted into their context, which is the baptismal preparation in Hippo Regius at the beginning of the fifth century.
Third, a summary of the stages of the catechumenate in Hippo Regius is sketched, to facilitate a better understanding of the sermons. A note on the critical editions of the text is added.
The second section offers a Czech translation of the afore-mentioned sermons with a commentary. The translation into the Czech language of s. 59A, published by C.
Weidmann in CSEL 101 in 2015, is believed to be the first translation of the sermon into a modern language. A biblical index and indices of ancient and modern authors, as well as the topical index and the bibliography, are included.
